ENS, Colleen Doris, May 23, 1956 – May 28, 2017. Ens, Colleen Doris flew peacefully away from a life she so cherished at Hamilton General Hospital on Sunday, May 28, 2017 at the very youthful age of 61 in the devoted company of her family and those who loved her most. Predeceased by her father, Benjamin Ens, and her sister, Christine Pollard, Colleen now waits by the banks of an unknown river for her loving husband and soul mate of 19 years, Zoltan Frank Laszlo. Colleen will be affectionately missed by her step-daughter Jessie Laszlo, brother-in-Law Christopher Laszlo and fiancé Carolyn McPherson, her mother Doris Ens and partner Don Gidley, sisters Mary Balkwill and Catherine Ens-Hurwood and husband Paul, as well as her brother, Jim Ens. Colleen’s enduring positivity and optimism were a beacon of joy to so many, including all of her loving nieces and nephews, endeared extended family members, her vibrant students, inspired colleagues and the adoring friends she made across the world throughout a lifetime of chasing curiosity and sharing goodwill. Please join us for a celebration of Colleen’s joyous life on Sunday, June 11 at the Rockmosa Community Hall, 74 Christy Street, Rockwood, ON between 12pm – 4pm, where memorial donations will be humbly accepted in Colleen’s honour, and shared with ‘One Walk to Conquer Cancer’ benefiting the Princess Margaret Cancer Center, a special event very close to Colleen’s heart.

All good things grow through me.
All good things radiate around me and are abundant in all of us”
